What is Enable:
Enable is the SaaS rebate management platform that drives trusted relationships between B2B trading partners. We create money for our customers by providing them with the technology solutions to automatically detect and report on rebate due. Customers configure their deals, Enable ingests and process all their sales transactions, allowing them to find rebates they are owed that they would otherwise have missed.
All this has major challenges, we process enormous amounts of data in very short time frames, performing billions of calculations per customer and storing it all in Enterprise scale databases. We provide customers with reporting, deal editing and collaboration capabilities. There are no standard techniques for doing this, we are the market leader, and we create new solutions every day.
We launched our flagship product in 2016 and have raised $276m to date in Series A, B, C & D funding. We are continually growing our client base, product portfolio and hyper-talented team.
What our day looks like:
• Working as part of an enthusiastic, fast paced and motivated agile engineering team that takes pride in delivering high-quality SaaS products.

  • Big Data processing. We process enterprise scale volumes of data having experience of ways of working with these for example parallel processing, BI systems, Data lakes.

Experience

  • Experience of driving technical strategy and approaches across multiple technical teams

  • Successfully solving the challenges required to ingest and process Enterprise level volumes of data.
  • Delivering pragmatic solutions which balance the needs of our customers and our long-term business growth, while maintaining high technical quality.

Accountabilities

  • Own the technical delivery of solutions. You will drive the Enable Engineering group to maintain and evolve standards and best practices around design, coding, and technical quality.
  • Ensure that your teams build high-performance, fault-tolerant, secure, and scalable cloud platform solutions that support multiple product and solution use cases.
  • Own the relationships with other technology teams to ensure we design and implement robust products, services and capabilities for the platform.
  • Help drive technical strategy, working with our lead product and data engineers worldwide to build and maintain world class scalable and highly available cloud-based SaaS platforms.
  • Champion the use of patterns, common ways of working, and standardised guidelines to ensure consistency across the organisation.
  • Drive a close working relationship with the DevOps team to build applications which can be deployed quickly and on demand using Infrastructure as Code and automation.
  • Encourage tight collaboration with the Product Management team to ensure we are delivering high value products, which are on point with the market and our customers for both current and future needs.
